	This server is non-recursive.  If you ask it questions about 
things it can answer directly, it will answer them.  For everything 
else, it will provide referrals that you would be responsible for 
following in order to resolve your question.

	Since this is apparently one of the main nameservers for the 
French Network Information Center, I am very glad indeed to see that 
they have configured this machine to be non-recursive.


	BTW, the version of BIND 9 you're running is out-of-date.  If 
you're going to run BIND 9, you should be running version 9.1.2-REL 
(the latest release version), or 9.1.3rc1 (the latest release 
candidate for the upcoming version).

	This server is answering recursively.  IMO, it probably should 
not be, and should be fixed.

	This machine does not appear to be running a nameserver at all. 
Are  you sure that you started the program up?  What error messages 
are being written to the syslog?  What error messages are you seeing 
on the console once you attempt to start the program?
